Chalkboard Sign

I really enjoyed making the chalkboard style engagement party sign so I thought about other ways I could use the style.
I had a spare 5x7" canvas which I painted completely with black acrylic. After looking at a few different fonts on Pinterest I used my white paint pen to write out a line from 'Home' by the Magnetic Zeros. 

What quote or lyrics should I do next?

This Week I...


...spent most of my not-at-work time working on this sign for my friend's sister's engagement party.
The party was on Saturday and my friend gave me the canvas on Tuesday so I had to get to work.

Wednesday evening was buying more black acrylic paint then applying two layers of it to cover the canvas. It was so much quicker to use a roller.

Thursday evening was outlining the words with a white paint pen. I was pretty much just copying the example they gave me as original typography is not my thing.

Friday evening and Saturday morning was painting in the words with white acrylic paint and touching up any mistakes with black.


And then the giant sign was done!
I've also said that I'll paint over 'engagement party' and write 'wedding' so they an get more use out of it.

How was your week?
Any big projects?
